Narrative:This helicopter was been used to SAR mission at Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro caused by flooding and mudslide catastrophe. Initial reports suggest that the wind gust during landing procedure caused the accident. The helicopter made an emergency lading onto a large pile of manure(!) which seems to have prevented the five persons on board (pilot, two soldiers, and two Red Cross personnel) from sustaining serious injuries.
